论文摘要
通过化学或其他方式实现的耦合松弛振荡器可以表现出多种稳态，其特征是侧向抑制作用引起的空间模式。我们表明，这些配置之间的扰动引起的转换，通过粗粒映射到二进制字符串，为计算提供了基础。管理这些转变的规则来自这些国家的全球稳定和地方稳定性所塑造的潜在有效能源景观。我们的结果表明，远距离平衡系统可以编码计算逻辑的框架。
Coupled relaxation oscillators, realized via chemical or other means, can exhibit a multiplicity of steady states, characterized by spatial patterns resulting from lateral inhibition. We show that perturbation-initiated transformations between these configurations, mapped to binary strings via coarse-graining, provide a basis for computation. The rules governing these transitions emerge from an underlying effective energy landscape shaped by the global and local stabilities of these states. Our results suggest a framework by which far-from-equilibrium systems may encode a computational logic.
